Dear Friends,

The 28th Annual International Chinese Martial Arts Championship, held over the weekend of July 17-19, 2026, was another successful event.

Sifu Mimi Chan and Wah Lum Kung Fu won the Most Supportive School Prize with Sifu Li Siu Hung and his Choy Lay Fut school coming in a close second.

I want to thank all the Sifus who attended and supported the tournament. Special thanks go out to the coordinators, the officials, and all the volunteers who worked over the weekend to ensure a successful event.
